The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Lin Che said quietly, "She went crazy and came straight towards me. That was how I knocked into her, okay? I don't know what happened to her either, everybody's perfect girl behaving like that..." Gu Jingze said, "She... has been acting a little insane recently."

Lin Che said, "Okay then. Anyway, I better distance myself from her or I will get into trouble with her again."

Gu Jingze agreed, "Hm. Anyway, when we go back, you won't have a chance to drive anymore. So you can relax because this kind of thing won't happen again."

They returned home. Lin Che showered and laid on the bed to sleep. Gu Jingze also wanted to join her on the bed.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, "Hey, can't you sleep outside tonight? I almost died just now and you're not giving me some personal space?"

Gu Jingze lifted the blanket and slipped in, propping his head up with one hand and turning his body to face her, "You just had a trauma; you're going to get nightmares if you sleep alone." "No way. I'm so lucky right now. I escaped death and I'm happy about it. How can I get nightmares?"

"This is called post-traumatic stress response. With your IQ, you probably don't know what this means.

You just had a dance with death so it's very likely you'll get this response. You're probably running on adrenaline now so you can't feel it. When you're calmer and more relaxed, you'll know."

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, not entirely believing him.

Was he for real? It was hard to believe him since he was always making a fool of her, but she also felt that something was not right.

Just then, Gu Jingze hugged her.

Lin Che yelped in surprise and felt herself lying down with him.

Gu Jingze held onto her tightly.

Lin Che struggled in shock, "What are you doing, Gu Jingze?! Gangster! Let me go or I'm going to scream!"

Gu Jingze's hands embraced her firmly as he whispered in her ear, "Hush, don't move. If I hug you tightly like this, it will reduce your stress. I heard that cow farms want their meat to be tender so before they slaughter the cows, they send the cows into a machine that press them. The cows feel safe and don't struggle, so pressure can make us release our stress. Don't move. I'll hug you to sleep like this. I guarantee you won't get nightmares."

"Really?" Lin Che stopped to ask. Gu Jingze replied, "Of course, it's real. I'm doing this for your own good."

"..." Lin Che relaxed. Feeling his tight embrace, it was as if every cell in her body was being comforted. She felt a lot more at ease.

Perhaps he was really doing this for her own good.

Perhaps she mistook his intentions for bad ones.

Thinking while leaning against him, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Gu Jingze smiled and looked at this silly person. He shifted around behind her until he was comfortable and also fell asleep.

The next day.

Lin Che woke up to see Gu Jingze walking in.

"Did I have any nightmares last night?" Lin Che said while scratching her head.

Gu Jingze replied, "You did."

"Really? How come I don't remember?" Lin Che felt that she had a rather comfortable night and didn't have any impression of a nightmare.

"Of course, people dream all the time. It's just that they'll forget ninety-seven percent of their bad dreams."

"Is that so?" Lin Che stared at Gu Jingze's face but could not pick out any anomaly from his expression.

Gu Jingze said, "Of course. Your nightmare last night involved kicking me and yelling at me. It was not easy to hold you back down."

11JI!

"Okay, okay. I got a new phone for you," Gu Jingze avoided her suspicions and handed a phone to Lin Che.

Lin Che looked at the new phone and remembered that her old one got lost.

She panicked and raised her hand to catch the phone.

She looked at Gu Jingze's indifferent face at the side.

She did not expect Gu Jingze to be so thoughtful. He actually remembered something she said so casually.

Lin Che looked up at him gratefully, "Thank you."

Gu Jingze looked at her phone, "Okay, let me set it up for you."

He sat down beside her and watched her press away on her phone.

"The memory from your previous phone was recovered. Your contacts have also been partially recovered."

"What do you mean by partially recovered?" Lin Che found that her contacts had diminished significantly.

Gu Jingze sat beside her and said plainly, "Oh, I saw that there were some useless people in there, so I helped you delete them."

"..." Lin Che was stunned. She raised her head and exclaimed, "Gu Jingze, what do you mean by you deleted them... Who did you delete?!"

Gu Jingze simply sat upright, looking directly in front of him and not saying a word. His expression seemed to say that it was a natural thing to do.

Lin Che went through her contact list and realized the difference.

Gu Jingze had deleted a lot of her contacts. In her phone, she could no longer find Qin Qing's name, many directors, and some male actors that she knew. Even Gu Jingyu's number was erased. "Gu. Jing. Ze. What's your problem?!" Lin Che exclaimed angrily, "Those are all my work contacts? Why did you delete them?"

Gu Jingze replied, "Let your agent handle work-related matters. You should have already agreed on work distribution with your agent, so you don't need to care about all these. You kept these numbers back when you didn't have an agent to get work for you. Now, you don't need to search for work, so you can delete them."

"..." Lin Che said, "Then Qin Qing..."

Gu Jingze's eyes hardened, "Why are you keeping the number of someone else's fiance?"

"Okay, okay. I will set up my number for you; it'll be on speed dial one. If there's anything, just hitting that will do." "Fine..." Lin Che looked at him depressingly.

Gu Jingze pondered for a while and then said, "Saving my number as Gu Jingze is not good. If people see it, our relationship will be exposed."

"Ah, then what should I save it as?" Lin Che thought and agreed. If anyone saw that name, they would be curious.

Gu Jingze took her phone and said, "I'll change the name."

Gu Jingze quickly changed the name. He looked at it and nodded in satisfaction before returning the phone to Lin Che.

Lin Che looked down at the phone.

In crystal clear words, he changed his own name to 'Dearest Hubby'.

Lin Che looked up speechlessly and exclaimed, "Gu Jingze, are you mad?! Isn't this more obvious?!"

Lin Che wanted to change it again but Gu Jingze saw and held down the phone, "Nobody knows that's my number. At the very most, they'll know that you have a boyfriend. Don't people call their boyfriends 'Hubby' these days?"

"No, that's gross!"

Gu Jingze's face darkened, "What's so gross about it? Am I not your Hubby?" "I... That's not what I meant. But we're not that kind of..."

"What kind? Your name is on my marriage certificate. What kind of Hubby am I then?"
